Except you know Trump himself won’t be involved in writing it, and in fact he’ll be reading it (haltingly) from the teleprompter for the first time when he stands in front of Congress.

He won’t be talking about the great economy if his policies continue.

Similarly, i guess , Trumpers hate establishment GOP more than they hate Democrats, according to Rick Wilson, who is making a gig out of being hated by Trumpers. Family arguments are always the nastiest.
Barry Ritholtz interviewed Rick W. on his podcast.
Transcript is usually available, but I don’t see it for this one.

Trump is showing by example that any American can be present…literally anyone! His “earn as you learn” journey as Leader of the Free Twitterverse" is terrifying! The only people he knows are crooks, con artists, dilettantes, and GOP Senators, with clearly a lot of overlap!

If TPM had some sort of top-ten insightful/thought-provoking/brainpan-reframing comments of the week sidebar story every weekend (which would be a very big, or strong, idea!), I would nominate this as one of the inaugural blurbs.

And Ally Bank and others are paying 2% on savings accounts. And that’s a regular FDIC insured deposit. Cash is doing well this quarter.
An entire generation has no idea people earned money on cash deposited in banks.

Even for Trump, this is so much winning:
President Donald Trump is still looking for a new United Nations ambassador. He has no deputy national security adviser. His attorney general and EPA administrator are serving in an acting capacity, and his constant badmouthing of his chief of staff and Secretary of Homeland Security has undermined their authority.
